Fish & Tides vs Chasing Tides

Every factor that moves fish, rolled into one honest score. Serious anglers check five apps before every trip to piece together tides, solunar majors, moon phase, barometric pressure, and wind. Fish & Tides does the math for you. We process live data from NOAA, UKHO, BOM, and Open-Meteo to tell you, hour by hour, exactly when the bite is on. One clean score. No gut-reads. Just the answer. NOW WORLDWIDE Fish & Tides now covers over 120,000 locations across 128 countries. Whether you fish the US coast, the UK, Australia, or virtually any coastline on Earth, you get hour-by-hour tide and bite forecasts for your spot. A global tide model fills in wherever a national agency leaves off — no more "data not available" dead ends.
